The Chef Rules the Last Days-Chapter 660 - 658: She Already Looks Almost Ten Years Old
The ground began to shake, accompanied by violent jolts to the vehicles.
Lu Chen floored the gas pedal. Upon sensing the situation below, Li Qian said sternly, "You need to have the cars in the back split up and take different routes; they’re about to be caught up."
Lu Chen immediately passed on the command.
The superpower users in the cars were not fools; at the critical moment, they knew how to best preserve their own lives.
They quickly dispersed, thereby reducing their chances of being wiped out by the monsters in one fell swoop.
The trembling of the ground grew more intense. Li Qian could not even begin to estimate the precise number of monsters running through these tunnels.
The creatures created and transformed in that lab were simply too numerous.
Not long after their convoy had spread out, the monsters beneath the subway emerged en masse.
Moments later, the snow several meters behind them burst open as they broke through the ground above.
One armored vehicle narrowly escaped being hit, thanks to the exceptionally quick reaction of its driver, who immediately swerved to avoid the collision.
Su Mo, observing the situation behind them, noted that the emerging creature was a zombie covered in vines, but on closer inspection, one could see a mechanical tentacle, similar to that of an octopus, attached to its arm.
These mechanical tentacles, each two meters long, dragged on the ground, covered in countless, sharp-edged suckers, and it ran with astonishing speed.
It was so fast that it almost caught up with a vehicle.
Zhao Changsheng leaned out from his car, continuously throwing Thunder Balls towards the back of that vehicle, attempting to halt the transformed body.
Behind them, numerous zombies, genetically altered with mutant fish and spider DNA, followed. These grotesque creatures were frightening in their speed and lethality.
No matter how fast they ran, one vehicle that momentarily lost awareness was hit by a massive fireball from a zombie with Fire Power, which set the vehicle ablaze instantly, sending a long trail of sparks flying.
Upon seeing this, Su Mo immediately said, "No, we must stop and help them switch vehicles, otherwise the people in that vehicle will die."
Lu Chen estimated the direct distance to the afflicted vehicle and turned his vehicle ninety degrees, heading straight for the vehicle in trouble. Su Mo quickly picked up the radio and said to the people in that vehicle, "Get ready to stop, we’re coming over to switch your vehicle."
To save time, Lu Chen tore open a spatial rift in front of the car and instantly reached the side of the burning vehicle.
Li Qian’s spiritual power instantly controlled the zombies chasing after them and shouted through gritted teeth, "Hurry!"
Lu Chen immediately threw out a new vehicle. The superpower users in the vehicle about to explode due to the fierce fire quickly moved to the new vehicle. Zhao Changsheng, aiming to buy as much time as possible, exhausted all his superpower. The sky filled with dark clouds, and several bolts of lightning swiftly struck down, instantly killing the leading zombies.
"Hurry, hurry!" Su Mo, seeing the bizarrely shaped zombies catching up, couldn’t help but urge loudly.
If they accidentally fell among those transformed bodies, it would mean either death or severe mutilation.
Lu Chen quickly retreated back into his vehicle and pressed on the gas pedal, once again ripping open a spatial rift to put distance between them and the zombies.
Zhao Changsheng had quickly consumed several gulps of Jasmine Tea and extended his hand out the window, throwing several Thunder Balls at the vehicle that was about to explode.
A dazzling burst of flame shot up into the sky as the entire vehicle exploded, taking out many zombies with it.
This chase continued until the sky began to lighten.
Although the number of transformed body zombies following them had significantly decreased, a part still clung on relentlessly behind.
After several hours of rushing and the low temperatures of the environment, one of the cars broke down.
Lu Chen and his group had no choice but to stop again; there was no time for car repairs, so he had to take out another car and collect the broken one before continuing on their journey.
It took them three whole days to completely escape from the pursuit of the transformed zombies.
Everyone was extremely hungry, and in the vast snowy landscape, they could only hide in some very tall buildings to ensure they wouldn’t freeze to death.
To prevent all the cars from freezing, Lu Chen collected them back into "Space."
Su Mo sat on the floor inside the building, cooking a large pot of noodles in front of her, as everyone had been hungry for three whole days.
Li Qian finally relaxed at this moment, "It’s temporarily safe here, and we should have no problem holding out until we set out tomorrow morning."
After eating a full night of noodles, everyone let out a satisfied sigh almost simultaneously.
The superpower users who had survived with them were filled with gratitude, especially for the Beef Soup that Su Mo made, which was truly miraculous.
But everyone had their own secrets in the apocalypse, so no one asked further.
They quietly finished their dinner and huddled together to sleep warmly.
Su Mo stood by the window, staring out at the vast expanse of snow, "I hope the Anti-Cold Medicine they are researching is successful."
Lu Chen looked up at the starry sky and said softly, "The disaster will pass."
On their journey back to the Bunker, Li Qian encountered several groups of survivors hiding underground, but they chose not to bring people back because there were not enough vehicles. Under the condition that the other party had enough food, they promised several survivors underground that they would come back for them.
From departure to return, it had been almost half a year.
According to Su Mo’s estimated time, this was very fast.
There were no zombies on the way, so their journey was exceptionally smooth.
The upper echelons inside the Bunker warmly welcomed and were happy about their safe return.
Rong Bai immediately gave Lu Chen a big hug, "Good brother! You’re finally back!"
Lu Chen patted his back, with a gentle expression, "All good?"
"All good, I’ve gained quite a bit of weight!"
Lu Ruixue, holding hands tightly with Lu Jin, immediately let go of Lu Jin and rushed toward Su Mo the moment she saw her, "Mommy!"
Coming back to the Bunker and seeing Lu Ruixue, Su Mo couldn’t help but tear up; she seemed almost ten years old now and had grown quite tall.
Su Mo almost didn’t stay standing when she was bumped by her; her daughter had always been strong and was even more so now. She knelt down to hug her, her voice choked, "You’ve grown up again."
Lu Ruixue happily said, "Yes, once I grow a bit more, I can go out with mommy."
Su Mo was both heartbroken and happy.
"Good girl, have you been listening well to Lu Jin?"
Lu Ruixue raised her head from her embrace, her little face flushed, "Yes, Jinjin is very nice! I really like Jinjin!"
